Sphere Sauvage

A message to any of you out there who might be reading from the St. Louis area: In the unbelievable scenario that you haven't got anything better to do with your Friday evening, you might consider attending the opening of a show in which I have the above piece (a collaboration with my beloved colleague, Raleigh Gardiner) at Luminary Center for the Arts, at 2644 Cherokee St., from 7-10. Further info

The book exists, right now, solely as its original self. It is singular and a sighting is rare. Very soon, though, I'd like to have it viewable online. Maybe copies available for purchase, too, if anyone would want them.

Good Music We Can Know

Here I will talk about some great secret musics that most people forget to know about. This is a place for me to both share and wax rhapsodic about largely unsung records that I feel to be masterpieces in their way. Call this masterpiece theater or just call it a dead dog but show up here and read about music you can listen to.

(If anyone out there is a copyright holder on any of these recordings, holler at me here and I will fall to my knees and remove any offending links, immediately and with satisfying contrition.)

I generally do not rip these myself. I am a collector and a rabid one and I avail myself of the many blogs and resources across this great and noble expanse of internet. If I post something obtained from somewhere else, I will try to give credit where it is due, but sometimes I forget. I'm not trying to steal thunder, I just want to spread the word to those who haven't yet heard. Forgive me if I transgress.

If you have feelings, consider sharing them in the comments. No harm can come of it if you were to say thank you, or further a dialogue, or harangue me for my tastes, or in any other way contribute to this internet village in which I have erected a hut. Thanks for stopping by my hut, by the way.
